The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Chapter 42 The old woman is gone

The loss of the imperial gift attracted the high attention of County Magistrate Wei. He and the detectives worked overtime and managed to find some useful clues.

The Lin Family Business was auctioning off silks and satins that were said to be only available in the palace. There were also many women in the imperial court in the county who bought silks and satins from the palace from the Lin Family Business.

When County Magistrate Wei heard about this, he took his men and surrounded the Lin family casino and the Lin family business without saying a word, and caught the culprit red-handed at the auction.

"Rebellious son, you actually dared to continue selling the stolen silks and satins, and you even made them into a signboard of the Lin family's business. Are you afraid that people don't know that you robbed the Cheng family's things?" The head of the Lin family slapped Lin Xin hard, looking at the illegitimate son who was slapped to the ground by him. Is this his retribution?

There was a sound of moving things outside. The head of the Lin family went out and saw that his eldest son was directing people to empty their Lin family's house.

"Oh, Master Lin, what happened to you? You look so embarrassed!" Lin Feng said. He had endured humiliation for so many years just for this moment. At this moment, he suddenly felt very grateful to the Cheng family.

"You, you evil son!" The head of the Lin family was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Master Lin, you favor your concubine and neglect your wife, and you are so unkind and unjust. This is the divorce letter my mother gave you. I want to divorce you on behalf of my mother! And I am no longer called Lin Feng, I am called Hua Feng!

Uncle Shen, take away all my mother's dowry. If you can't find it, go to Aunt Cao's room or go to the account office to exchange it for silver and take it away! If you can't take it away, destroy it on the spot!" Lin Feng, no, Hua Feng said.

Today, he has grown up and can inherit what his mother left him. He also did one thing, which was to divorce her husband for her.

"You, you dare! I will beat you to death!" The head of the Lin family wanted to rush up and hit Hua Feng.

"Master Lin, please be patient. Hua Feng is a distinguished guest of my Sun family's escort agency. If you want to touch him, you'd better think carefully!" Liu Ping walked in from the Lin family.

As long as the Hua family takes away the late lady's things, the Lin family will be nothing but an empty shell except for a few properties.

"Young Master Huafeng, your uncle has entrusted us to help you move your mansion. Have you packed up?" Liu Ping walked up to Huafeng and said.

"You! You guys!" said the head of the Lin family.

"Master Lin, you'd better save some energy to deal with County Magistrate Wei. He's already coming this way!" Liu Ping said gloatingly.

As soon as Liu Ping finished speaking, he heard the voice of Wei County Magistrate.

"Master Lin, long time no see. Your second son is a wonderful man. I have something to ask him. Please hand him over." County Magistrate Wei was a respectable man and spoke in a nice voice.

"Who do you think you are! You want me to go with you? Impossible!" After hearing what County Magistrate Wei said, Lin Xin immediately rushed out and pointed at County Magistrate Wei's nose and cursed.

"Oh, this second young master is really as the rumors say!" Just as stupid, County Magistrate Wei said sarcastically.

"Come here, take him away!" County Magistrate Wei gave a loud order.

"Sir Wei, Sir Wei, please don't be angry. Can you please give me some leniency for my sake?" The head of the Lin family chased after County Magistrate Wei with a smug look on his face.

"Your face? What kind of face can destroy the royal gift? If you have anything to say, go to the government office and say it!" County Magistrate Wei brought his men and arrested Scar and Lin Xin.

A few days later, the major case that shocked Bai Ze County was solved, and the truth about the Cheng family being robbed was revealed.

The cause was that the two elders of the Cheng family were overly partial. They often used the third wife's things to subsidize the first wife and other sons' families, which made the third wife's family feel disheartened. In order to let their family survive, they had to choose to break off ties with the old house.

Later, the third family received a reward. The eldest daughter-in-law became jealous and came up with a vicious plan with the third family's next-door neighbor. They asked their grandson to climb over the wall from the Cheng family's next-door neighbor and steal the gold bestowed by the emperor on the third family.

Originally, the eldest wife wanted her grandson to kill all the people in the third wife's house. However, her grandson was reluctant to buy the incense, so he just went to the house to steal things, and then was discovered by the third wife's family.

It was a vicious plan that killed two birds with one stone. If it succeeded, they would not only have money to spend, but the third branch would also be wiped out. This vicious plan made anyone who heard of it terrified.

But it’s a pity that the thugs of the Lin family casino have been robbing each other and have not yet recovered the stolen gold. They can’t even find a clue, so it is certain that they will never get it back.

The Lin family compensated the Cheng family with a two-story courtyard and the three-story shop of the Lin family casino.

Originally, County Magistrate Wei wanted to find something to compensate the Cheng family, but when he checked, he found out that the head of the Lin family was a gigolo. His eldest son divorced his mother's husband and took away all of his mother's dowry. Now the Lin family is just an empty shell.

So County Magistrate Wei had no choice but to give up.

As the main culprits, the eldest wife of the old Cheng family, Cheng Pandyi and her three grandsons were directly sentenced to mine in the three-yi area of the border.

What is unexpected is that as soon as Cheng Pandi and the others were arrested, Cheng Tiezi immediately asked the village chief to write a letter of divorce to Cheng Pandi, and then expelled the four of them from the clan.

When Lin Xin of the Lin family was investigated by County Magistrate Wei, it was discovered that he had several murder cases on his hands, so he was directly sentenced to death and executed in the autumn.

However, the Cheng family no longer cared about these things. The three brothers Cheng Jin and the three sisters-in-law Li Huaxiang felt sorry that the gold bars were gone, and had no other emotions. Instead, they were happy that Liu Hua and Cheng Pandyi would no longer be watching them.

"Children, we can only say that we are not blessed with this sudden wealth. We have to rely on our own efforts to achieve the life we want in the future. In the evening, I will ask your father to go to the village chief and the head of the village to buy the land at the foot of Qingshan!" said Old Lady Cheng.

This time the incident got out of hand, and she was afraid that her family would suddenly become rich and change their personalities.

Now, not only has the gold been preserved, but people have also given up the idea of coveting their gold. Moreover, they can also let their family pay step by step. Three gold ingots will be worth three hundred taels of silver.

(One gold ingot is worth ten taels, and one tael of gold is exchanged for ten taels of silver)

"Grandma, do we need to take out all the gold ingots?" Cheng Yu asked in his heart.

"No, don't take it. Now is not the right time!" Old Mrs. Cheng had a premonition that all the members of the Cheng family would leave Qingshan Village, and then the gold would be of great use.

Zhao Yunniang took one look at her daughter and mother-in-law and she knew something was fishy. Although her mother-in-law cried sincerely, her father-in-law had no reaction. However, she had to keep the matter to herself.

"Mom, let's continue selling cold noodles tomorrow!" Li Huaxiang thought about the lost gold. It was lost, so it was lost. They could just earn it back by themselves!

"Okay, let's earn it back. It's more reassuring to spend the money we earn ourselves!" Cheng Jin also immediately coaxed his wife. He knew that his wife must be unhappy.

"Yes, we have hands and feet, and we wouldn't exchange them for a thousand taels of gold!" Lin Pan'er said excitedly.

"Yes, Xiao'er, although you can stand up now, you can't force yourself too much! You must take good care of your body and not leave any root of disease!" Zhao Yunniang said.

At that time, he was lying in the clinic covered in blood, his breath was so weak that it seemed like he would die at any time. When the Cheng family members thought of this, they still felt scared.

"Okay, Second Aunt, I'll take good care of my injuries. My master also told me to come back to the escort agency in three months!" Cheng Lixiao felt nervous when he saw everyone's looks, and he promised immediately.

"Old man, go to the village head and the head of the village tonight and buy the land, so as to avoid any more trouble.

Xiao Er, tomorrow you take your uncle, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi to the private school to ask if they can enroll now;

Second son, if your father buys the land, you and the third son will go around asking for bricks and tiles tomorrow;

Oh, and the second house that the Lin family compensated us also needs to be cleaned up. It will be fine after the autumn harvest. If the children are all in private school, our whole family will move to the city to live for a while!" Mrs. Cheng arranged.

I originally wanted to move my whole family to the city so that we wouldn’t have to buy land and build a house, but then I remembered that my old man was reluctant to give up the land.

Moreover, the whole family needs money for food and accommodation in the city. Now that their business is just starting out, it is not realistic for all of them to move into the city.

"Uncle Tielin, please go to the old house and take a look. Old lady Cheng is gone!" There was a knock on the door. Old man Cheng opened the door and found that it was his nephews and nephews. He said to Old man Cheng.

"Okay, I'll go now!" Although Mr. Cheng had no feelings for Old Lady Cheng anymore, he still felt sad after hearing the news of the old lady's death.

"Erdan, thank you for your hard work," Old Mrs. Cheng stepped forward and shook Old Mr. Cheng's hand. She knew that the old man would definitely be sad. No matter how bad the old woman was, she was still his mother.

"Oh, what did you say, aunt?" Although he felt a little embarrassed to be called Erdan, Aunt Mu Qiu was really nice and gave him three candies.

The candy was taken out by Cheng Yu from the space. It was a hard candy given by the system when he signed in this morning.

"I'm fine, Erdan, I'll go with you." Old Master Cheng held Old Lady Cheng's hand, then let go and went towards the Cheng family's house with Cheng Erdan.

It turned out that half an hour ago, the police came to the Cheng family's old house to arrest people. Because there were as many as four people involved in the first house, County Magistrate Wei directly sentenced Liu Hua's family to exile to the border to mine.

When Old Lady Cheng saw that her favorite son, daughter-in-law and grandson's family had their property confiscated and exiled, she stood up to argue with the officers, but the officers ignored her and directly took Liu Hua's family away.

It was also because Old Master Cheng reacted quickly. After being driven away by Old Master Cheng yesterday, he quickly returned to the old house to divide the family property. Otherwise, all the Cheng family members would have to go mining. Old Mrs. Cheng was still angry that he chose the fourth house and gave up the first house!

In addition, she had never seen a doctor for her injuries, and today she became even more angry. She couldn't catch her breath and died.

When Old Mrs. Cheng heard about this, she was also filled with sorrow. The old woman had been partial to someone all her life, but was badly betrayed by the first wife. She had been strong all her life, but ended up spending her last days in such misery.

Old Mrs. Cheng told her daughters-in-law and their family not to make jelly anymore. Although they had severed ties with the old family, they still had to give due respect to the old man.

So, the whole family went to the old house of the Cheng family. Cheng Yu was still grumbling unhappily when Old Lady Cheng picked him up and kissed him. Then she said, "Nannan, we are not here to pay respect to the old lady today. We are here to give face to your grandfather!"

Sure enough, as the old lady expected, as soon as they arrived at the door of the old house, they heard Cheng Zhong questioning Old Master Cheng why they didn't come, saying that they were unfilial or something.

"You're joking, old man. If you want to be filial, it should be your son who stays at home. Why should we, who are no longer related, be filial?" Old Lady Cheng said immediately when she heard Cheng Zhong's scolding getting more and more outrageous.

"You! You are my son after all!" Cheng Zhong said.

"The kind that breaks off relations!" said Mr. Cheng.

He originally came to see Old Madam Cheng off, but as soon as he entered the door, Old Master Cheng blamed everything on their family.

“Old Master, we could have not come if we had broken off the engagement, but since Brother Lin is your son, we came.

If we are not welcome, we will just leave. By the way, Aunt Cheng is gone, we will pay 5 taels of silver for her burial. Village chief, please be a witness that we paid for it. "Mrs. Cheng took out 5 taels of silver and placed it in front of the village chief.

"Okay, sister-in-law, you are so righteous!" The village chief said immediately. As a son of a severed family, this status is enough.

The villagers also started to praise it. To be honest, the third branch of the Cheng family was a really good family. It was just that Cheng Zhong was blind and pushed away such a good son and daughter-in-law.

"Village chief, let's go back then. Call us over if there's anything else!" Old Master Cheng took his family and left again.

"Evil son! Evil son!" Cheng Zhong's roar came from behind.

(The author has something to say: Calling him Old Master Cheng is too disgusting, I’ll just call him Cheng Zhong in the future)
